[W]e must have a pie. Stress cannot exist in the presence of a pie…. It casts out stress as the heat of the hand repels quicksilver…. Keep you your precious vapors, your fantods, your anxiety. Give me a pie. Give me a pie anyday. – David Mamet, Boston Marriage
I dont like people who have never fallen or stumbled. Their virtue is lifeless and it isnt of much value. Life hasnt revealed its beauty to them. – Boris Pasternak
